Welcome To My First Blog!

Thank you all for taking the time to check out my first ever blogging experience! My name is Kristen Morgan and I teach 7th and 8th grade Writing and Social Studies in Colorado. The purpose of this blog (besides gaining some much needed technical experience!) will be to share thoughts and information with my community. Hopefully, this may also be an extra resource for my students and their families.

I was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. I attended the University of Richmond where I received a bachelor's degree in English and Secondary Education. Upon graduating in 2007, I moved to the Valley where I have been working with the district as a substitute, reading specialist, and moderate needs assistant. Aside from teaching, I love taking advantage of all the mountains have to offer... particularly telemark skiing, climbing, hiking, golf, tennis, and rafting. I am also an avid traveler who thrives on every opportunity to experience new language and culture. Last year I spent six months traveling solo, volunteering in India and Nepal. I feel so lucky to be a new member of the teaching staff with such an enormous network of support. I am extremely excited about beginning my first year of full time teaching, and can't wait to share my passion for learning with my students.
